Arteta invites Arsenal to ‘focus on what’s in our hands’ after a pronounced victory over Manchester City
Arsenal chief Mikel Arteta says his side has to focus on what’s in their hands after a “great day” that beaten Manchester City.
Gunners split the Premier League champion, scoring four goals in the second half to take revenge on the fiery draw in Etihad earlier in the season.

While Artete was obviously pleased with the result, he admitted that Arsenal had to be focused if he wanted to win the Premier League title.
He said, “It’s a great day. Considering the opposition we played, the result we got and the way we did. It makes it a special day.
“Many things have to go its own way.
“They are so good that they are forcing you to be deeper and to be in a situation where you do not want to be. Sometimes you need a little luck and after that you have to be effective. We had to be brave and it paid off.
“So it’s possible?”
